On conjugate points and the Leitmann equivalent problem approach

This article extends the Leitmann equivalence method to a class of problems featuring conjugate points. The class is characterised by the requirement that the set of indifference points of a given problem forms a finite stratification. Keywords Calculus of variations, equivalent problems, conjugate points, rectifying coordinates, sufficient conditions
